The Trap

Chapter 1

"Good afternoon sir, where are we headed today?" The driver asked when Simon got into the limo after a long day of work.

"Going on home to see my family," Simon said looking forward to seeing them again because he missed them so much. Even though he talked to them on the phone, it just wasn't the same.

"Where is that, sir?" The driver asked wondering because he knew he had a lot of homes around the world.

"Los Angeles," Simon said while looking back at his driver.

"Okay, I'm going to tell the pilot where you're final destination is," The driver said as he got out and opened the door for Simon.

"Thanks," Simon said relived as he got his bag and headed to the plane.

As he got onto his private jet there was a nip in the air that was just cold enough for him to put on his jacket. On the plane there was a mini family room which included a couch or two and a television. There were also two rows of seats so he could have more people if he wanted or needed the room. In the back of the plane was a completed bedroom with a big screen television, a walk in closet and a small bathroom.

He always needed to check if he had everything that was supposed to be there which included both sets of keys for his car and the house, his cell phone and his sunglasses. As he began to put it all back in his pockets he felt something poke his hand. He also thought it was quite weird because he hadn't felt it when he put his coat on just minutes ago. And as he was feeling for it again he found the problem and pulled it out of his pocket. As he began to look at it he couldn't help but smile at them. It was a picture of his wife and kids that they had recently taken before he left to his business trips in England.

Even though the kids in the picture are his, about a decade or more ago, he only had a son and a daughter. He has twins but they are so different in personality and appearance but they look like they are siblings, even to people who aren't related to them.

His son Dylan is older by ten minutes and he has always been the leader over his sister. And being the oldest he is always looking out for his sister. He loves her as much as anyone Simon knows because they have this special bond being twins. But Simon also knows for a fact that Dylan loves his dad but he has been overprotected of her as long as he could remember. Dylan also helps his father out whenever he needs help taking care of Rochelle and he never complains about it. Simon always have loved that part of him and thinks that if Dylan was born second he would still be that way because she is still the only girl that has always been in his life.

But his daughter Rochelle is a different story. She is the type of daughter every dad prays that they receive because she so loves and cares about everyone. She is also polite, obeys her father all the time and doesn't lie to him. But like her brother she loves being with him because he protects her. Rochelle is also his little princess and she sometimes is his shadow because she follows him everywhere he goes.

The day the twins were born was supposed to be the best day of their lives but it wasn't. His wife Amy woke up with what she called the worst pain of her life and she could handle pain very well. They thought it was the twins because she had never felt this way before so they hurried off to the hospital. When they arrived the doctors had to rush Amy into the operation room to save the babies. She had to have secession and Simon thought he was going to lose all three of them that day but he didn't. The doctors told him later that if they had waited even longer that he would have lost all of them.

When the team of surgeons got the twins out, Simon got really scared because he and Amy couldn't hear any crying. The twins were so little but they managed to get the cord wrapped around both of their tiny necks. As soon as the doctors got the cord off, Simon was able to cut it as the nurse went to clean them before they could actually see them for the first time out of the womb. A couple minutes later the nurse came over and placed both of them in Simon's arms and Amy and he couldn't stop crying because they were so happy that they were here and alive. Even though they were happy they also knew that they had a hard road ahead of them because the twins were premature.
